I received exceptional assistance by phone from Doriam at this store. Then I went in the store. OMG! Everything is set up beautifully - all your pet needs: food (canned, bagged, refrigerated, frozen), treats, toys, leashes/collars, beds, strollers...and more! I bought a Tavo stroller. Doriam walked me through setting it up, using it (all the features), and then disassembling for easy transport or storage. He even put it in my car. The service here is excellent. I went in looking for a different brand stroller but once he showed me the Tavo I knew it was so much better for my needs. Thank you very much from a satisfied customer! I will be back! read more

Even got a local made (Oceanside) doggie b-day cake...outstanding human grade ingredients and the 6 year birthday boy loved it!! Will be back again when we are back visiting in the area. read more

Muttropolis - "When can I open my B-day presents mom?!" - Pet Stores Near Me - Solana Beach, California

I was really disappointed with my experience at this store today. First, I want to say I genuinely appreciate that you hosted a Fear Free dog community event. I think events like that are important, helpful, and a great way to support dog owners. That said, when I walked in with my dog wearing a prong collar, the way I was treated felt unkind and unwelcoming. Members of the training group were rude, whispered mean comments, pointed, and made me feel judged instead of supported. On top of that, while I was looking for an item, not a single staff member offered to help me. I left feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome, and it honestly made me not want to shop here again. I understand and respect the goal of Fear Free education, but customer service, professionalism, and kindness should matter just as much--especially during an event meant to support the community. I'm sharing this because I hope future customers are treated with more respect and offered help rather than being made to feel judged. read more

Sometimes you need an antidote to the big box corporate warehouses. This is the place. They have curated a collection of excellent toys, treats, and equipment for your pet - in my case a dog. They have knowledgeable and friendly staff who will tell you why they have these items and which choice is best for your needs. Doriam was sweet to my dog, and helped us start collecting a toy line that actually stands up to his rough play. It's the only toy I haven't had to re-stitch on a weekly basis. They have dog treats that are great health choices that I hadn't heard about on any of the big pet websites. And of course, you can bring your pet and stroll the Cedros design district. I will be back to get my little buddy a doggie cake for his birthday this month. He loved the little pumpkin-based cupcake we picked up here, and the chewing sticks. read more

Rude blond cashier, who look like she hated working there, but balanced by a worker who was walking around helping everyone. This employee gave some good suggestions on what toys is good for the dog breed. Prices in this store is higher, which you can buy for cheaper in other stores that contains the same products. The main focus is the unique toys and treats for your dog, such as doggy cupcakes which would be great for their birthday. The cashier was passive aggressive towards my friends who purchased a couple of dog treats and toys. One of my friends noticed her complaining to a customer about our general excitement while we were shopping. Granted we may have been excited when we saw the cute dog pun toys, but if any of the staff was uncomfortable, a simple request to keep the noise down would have suffice. This is my observation, not actually told by us. It seems that this negative demeanor trickled down to her coworker, who was helping us initially but then began following us around in the store which felt like she was watching us while we shop. We were not making any mess. My other friend was just looking at the clothes for her dog after buying some doggy treats. Overall, cute toys/clothes for your pets, customer service was good in the beginning but questionable at the end, specifically towards the rude blond cashier. read more

We love the happy cheerful vibes of this spot! Yes they might be a bit more but these toys are the only ones she never tears up or destroys. Totally worth every penny, she also loves her bandanas, they have the best selection. The treat bar is also a great deal, healthy and tons of options, it's a dogs play day read more

We recently visited this store to cheer on our friend's pup who was graduating from his obedience class class! This is basically a boutique store ( think a fancy and costlier version of PetSmart) filled with absolutely every kind of all kinds of pet supplies you would want to spoil your dear fur baby would with :) They had a great and rather reasonably priced selection of edible treats - ranging from seasonal themed cookies (Halloween specials!) to birthday cakes. read more

Ok mg check expiration dates. The lady was trying to sell me expired ear cleaner after I told her it had expired a few months ago. She said it would be fine!!! no actually after checking with my vet they said using expired medication like that can cause ear infections and actually can grow bacteria in the bottle. I also picked up plaque off that expired in 2021 that's three years ago and that's for plaque off in the mouth. My vet said do not use that take that back and never shop there again.!!!' Be CAREFUL, check their food dates as well because this can really make your dog sick and clearly they don't care. She was still trying to sell it to me. I told her that she shouldn't not be selling that and it should probably be illegal to even have on your shelf. I could not believe she was pushing it on me still.... read more

Rude. Terrible customer service and the rudest workers. Don't spend your money here for your sweet animals, there are other local shops that have the same products and much kinder people. read more

I used to love shopping here. Even though the prices are higher, the items are great quality and the area is nice to shop in afterwards. However, the employees don't treat all dogs equally. When my dog was a puppy he picked up a toy off the shelf to look at, and I was getting mean looks from the employee behind the counter. I put it back and nothing was wrong with it, but she glared at me and watched me the rest of the time. Since then, it has been nice to visit, until recently. I took my foster puppy, who is still being socialized and going through a fear period and currently being trained, and when she barked they reacted horribly. They stood on the other side of the store, terrified of her. I asked one of them if they could give her a treat to show her that it's ok (to help her learn to trust strangers), but the younger woman said that for her own safety she would not. The older woman was nicer and more understanding, but overall they were hiding from the puppy and being dismissive of me when I was trying to explain that she is just training still, but I understand. Then, I heard them behind the counter making comments like "good thing no other customers are in here". It felt very rude and I will not be coming back. read more

LOVE this boutique! They have a great selection of beautifully curated dog accessories (toys, clothes, collars, etc.) and healthy/natural food & treats. The staff were so friendly and even offered my picky dogs some treats. Definitely worth checking out if you're planning a trip to Solana Beach or San Diego. read more

This place is super cute and the owner spent the time talking with us to see what our dog would like. One of the item from the single food-treat bar is our puppy's new favorite thing ever. They were also able to engrave the name of our puppy on a badge on site and it was very quick and turned out great. read more

They were so helpful and nice! We got our girl the best collar (it's been hard to find a decent one!) and they had a ton to pick from. They were also thorough and very helpful with our food selection. Definitely coming back! read more

I took a day trip to Oceanside and San Diego then decided to stop by this pet store on the way there when I think it would have some pretty cute outfits for my puppy Fuchsia. It's a small store filled with lots of dog toys even the unique plush toys shaped in purses, perfume bottles, high heels and many other fun toys. There are some cute dog clothes, food, strollers, a few beds and accessories. I found a cute pink and yellow polka dot dress on sale so I brought that when I like dressing up my fur baby when she is a fluffy Maltese. Fuchsia thinks we're going out when I dress her up and never tries to destroy the clothes instead she wears them like a princess. The dress material is nice and easy to wash just toss it in one of those laundry bags for delicate clothes and put it in the washer or hand wash it then let it air dry by hanging it or laying it out. read more

Muttropolis is such a cute little dog boutique, I've gone to the location in La Jolla but this store has a nice large yard for our fur babies to play in! I came here last Saturday with my Pomeranian Meet Up group and although it was a smaller turn around, we all received such amazing service! The associates inside the store were so friendly and wanted to give our babies so much love! They have so many cute outfits at such great prices considering the make of these pieces! Plus they have a huge little area for treats, our Pomeranians were going crazy! They closed down the front yard for all of our dogs to play in and they even used gates to puppy proof the exits! All the associates were so attentive to our dogs needs, bringing out water bowls and a little tray of snacks for our Pomeranians to munch on! They even gave us little samples to take home! We did buy medication specifically for dog joints and they were a lot more affordable here! If you need to get a little birthday cake for your fur baby you can get a cute cake for $12, definitely worth it! Bring your fur babies here you will love it and so will they! read more

I have been a patron of the La Jolla Muttropolis for years and recently found Cedros so I decided to check out the Solana Beach Muttropolis. I love this store. I have been here 4 times in the past month and I live in the East County. The staff is uber friendly, knowledgeable and they have a multitude of things to choose from. Since we own little dogs and giant dogs, we find its always challenging to find a one stop shop for their needs, but Muttropolis always has a variety of choices for all our beloved pets. We have gone to two breed specific parties this month and the staff is amazing with all that commotion. They close off the little yard in front and the dogs have a PARTY. It doesn't matter if they are in the flowers, it doesn't matter if they are running through the store, they are treated like VIP guests. It is so relaxing to be in an establishment where your dog can do no wrong. The staff just laughs and snaps photos, they actually understand that they are animals and not furry humans. Yes this is a boutique for pets, so you will find high end items, but that's not all they have. You can buy things from under $10 all the way up into the $100's. From collars and leashes to food bowls. For those of us that like to play dress up with our dogs, they have clothing too. If you have a nervous dog, they have the thunder shirts available here (it is a miracle product). Yes, their dog food is not at Walmart prices, but then you would be feeding your dog some of the best food available on the market, not corn byproducts. (ok ok no preaching here). I'll give you a BIG hint, there are clearance bins throughout the store with discontinued or last season items. These bins are substantially reduced and you can find some real bargains, but the real hint is this. Go to one of their dog events and you will receive a coupon for 10% off of your entire purchase to be used the same day. read more

I really like buying stupid novelty chew toys for my dog and they've got some really fun ones here. Staff are super nice and helpful. Of course as other reviews mentioned, it's a little pricey but that's to be expected considering the neighborhood. It's not really a place I go to to buy dog food and other pet essentials but if I'm looking for a gift or a chew toy shaped like a tequila bottle I'll splurge and treat my puppy to something from here. Although the mandate has been lifted, they do still require masks but having forgot mine in the car they were happy enough to provide me with one. read more

Love this pet boutique! They layout, lighting and welcoming atmosphere makes it delight to return every time. This boutique has extensive selections of cute sassy pet clothing, different types of healthy treats, toys, dog food and even toy games for pets. They often host cute dog get togethers for holiday weekend day parties, like Halloween, VDay and others. Everyone always has a smile around and there are great perks if you sign yourself up with their member system, at times getting deals and money prizes. Definitely a must for any dog and do read more

This is a great little pet store located right in the design district part of Solana Beach. The pup loves this place as there are tons of smells and the staff is always super friendly and give tons of treats. This place has an excellent selection of toys, collars, treats and hard to find foods such as Acana. Overall, this is a great location to pamper your pooch in a super friendly atmosphere. Sign up for their loyalty program for additional discounts and also the yelp check in gives you 10% off your $50 or more purchase. Pros- Location Selection Friendliness Hard to find items Outdoor artificial grass area Loyalty programs Cons- Pricey read more

I have supported this store for many years, even through prices are high I enjoyed it. I went in the other day, almost 41 weeks pregnant while waiting for my doctors visit to pick up a few things. For anyone who has been pregnant you know how urgent a bathroom break can be and how uncomfortable. I was in the middle of shopping when I had an urgent urine call and I asked to use the restroom, explaining I was over 40 weeks pregnant and this was an urgent request. She told me no. I was literally doing my best not to cry and she was unwavering. I'm sharing this as I think it's important to support folks who aren't just after making money, but good human beings. I will not be supporting this store as I'm sure I'm not the first person nor the last. read more

Folks are really nice here at this very upscale pet boutique. HUGE selection of treats and a little bakery case for your pooches b-day.

Paws down, WE LOVE THIS PLACE. The staff is amazingly kind and helpful. They are so sweet to my dog, like he is the only one they've seen that day! Every time we come here, Ichiban and now Feeniks, get compliments, pets and good healthy and obviously delicious treats. The store itself is really fun, toys galore! Complete with a sense of doggie humor design and small fenced in area in front where your dog can get a drink and stretch out and relax. Even though the store is smaller than the big box stores they have all the essentials, a great selection of food and treats as well as a knowledgeable staff. read more

I'm a new mom to a little pup and the ladies here were AMAZING! They walked me around the store, answered all of my questions and set me up with all the great things for the puppy. On the pricey side, but worth every penny. This place will definitely be a frequent stop for us. read more

I always loved walking in here when I'm in the Solana Beach area. They have a variety of good treat options and of course, some nice pet boutique items such as Rae Dunn. I came here last Sunday to get one of my dog a cake. The cakes come frozen and you defrost it and it's a perfect size and very affordable. My two german shepherds loved it! I usually go to a pet store in Oceanside to get their cakes and that store personalizes the cake with your puppy's name which I thought was cute but Muttropolis doesn't. Will definitely come back though for treats and other pet items. read more

Shopping should be an experience that you love returning to each time, Muttropolis is exactly that! Strolling into the store is a treat, it's never the same. There is always something new and excited to see, touch, taste, (yes even the treats are edible for us humans) and explore. The staff is friendly and personal, remembering my dog's name and his favorite treats. I purchase all my pets food there (2-dogs 1-cat) knowing it's wholesome, safe and healthy. The best beds that I have ever purchased for my pets have been through Muttropolis, quality, and design! Thank you, staff, for making our visits a fun experience every time. WOOF WOOF read more

I went to Muttropolis and there was a "tragic to magic" adoption event where the person supervising the event was allowing children to grab and pick up puppies in ways that clearly hurt them because they were yelping. I told the volunteer, Dana, that the water bowl was empty and she dismissed it. My friend and I kept asking her to refill the water bowl throughout the duration of our time at Muttropolis and even offered to refill it ourselves. There were about 8 puppies within the cage and they were pawing at the single empty water bowl. I was shopping in the store and glancing out to see if the water bowl had been refilled and the Muttropolis employee (I think the owner) regarded me with suspicion and hostility. When she asked what I was looking at, I explained and she said "well maybe they already had a lot of water." This establishment obviously doesn't care for the safety and well-being of dogs so I recommend not supporting the business. read more

This unique dog boutique in Solana Beach is one of my favorites. Their selection of dog beds is the best. Huge variety of collars you don't see at all the other places.

Stopped by to checkout this store while in Solana Beach. We were greeted at the door & she offered our dog a treat! We were looking to purchase a harness for use in a car - she went to the back storeroom to find the correct size.
